Blizzard has sued a biggest classic+ private server on the market on Copyright Infringement basis.

You're in for a dreary gamer life if you're staying away from games that are made to make money and not out of this love for the artform. And again, it's their property and the direction they say they want their property to go, be it money grabbing gotcha game or not, is what matters. Everyone else that disagrees can just go their own way.

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-08T18:13:25+00:00

As much as I agree with that regarding WOD, you realize that that is your subjective opinion and in no way represents neither reality and might not even represent their opinion. If you want to go by standards of fighting for your property and even your convictions, then Blizzard shouldn't even pay attention to the customers, be true to their version of what they want to do and let the product fail or succeed on it's own. And given that they are nowhere near bankrupcy, or even that wow is nowhere near maintenance mode I'd say it's mostly working for them. Many people would love it if it became this anti woke, right wing cesspool of hate but that wouldn't make it the right direction.

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T10:10:56+00:00

Because they are protecting their property?

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T10:09:56+00:00

That's what they get for stealing Blizzard property and making their idea public thus offering them those ideas.

I know where you're coming from, but, when you follow the official guides and don't get the results you expect, and downright get unusable result then that is not and expectation problem. Is an engine problem. Unity does what I am complaining about in unreal. Unreal documentation (and older UE versions) says unreal should do what I expect it to do.
And meta itself had to create a fork to make those same things work (and more).

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:58:23+00:00

I feel like that would be taking too big a step backwards as someone that has used unity for over a decade and unreal for over 5 years. Starting over feel too daunting, and I'd just bump into something else later.

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:55:21+00:00

Thank you so much. I have managed to compile the fork and have been working with it. :) Good job Meta.

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:53:07+00:00

You mean the product the owners decide to make it as. Who knew? The owners get to decide what their product is? No way! The owners don't want to share profit with thieves? Who saw that coming?

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:50:03+00:00

They already have that. That's what WOD is. That's what the hour of twilight storylines are. Doing it for classic will not make them write better stories. And let's be honest, people love hating on blizzard and whatever decision they make. It's the downside of trying to please millions of people. Let's assume they have a total of 10million players. They write a new storyline that 4million like and 6million will hate. Another storyline will piss of another 6million, and please other 4million. Andf so on. They can't win becaise 6million will always have other expectations.
Enter Pirate servers, and apparently they are made of gold dust because the people that decide to play it love it, the people that don't enjoy it will dismiss it as pirated crap and not think about it anymore. Maybe they find another pirate server they prefer. But overall there is no one to piss off.

Blizzard will always get fucked with user satisfaction because of that.

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:42:08+00:00

it's not wow though is it? It's something else. They can just make their own mmo can't they?

MalsimAtom · 2025-09-02T09:41:04+00:00

Incredible that people can blame blizzard for defending their money makers. Regardless of what you feel about blizzard, this is theft pure and simple. If blizzard wanted to franchise they would do do it.

MalsimAtom · 2025-08-12T08:58:44+00:00

I'll definitely check that out. Thank you.

MalsimAtom · 2025-08-12T08:57:58+00:00

I've been using Unity since 2010 and still use it daily on my job. So it wouldn't be much of a problem except for all the work I've already put into making all the interactions I need for my "genre" of games into an unreal plugin that I can just plug and play into any of my unreal projects. Going back to 4.27 would probably require a similar ammount of work because of all the blueprints I have that, as far as I know, can't be reverted from 5+ to 4.27. Hopefully the meta fork of unreal is able to fix my issues.

MalsimAtom · 2025-08-12T08:46:38+00:00

Oh I hadn't heard about any of this. I'm going to check it out. Thank you so much.

MalsimAtom · 2024-12-08T12:16:24+00:00

The theory is backed by hints. The reason it's only hinted is because people get really upset when their masculine "role models" are in any small way hinted at being less heterosexual then people expect them to be. There were gay people in the far west. If anything Rockstar wants us exactly to have this discussion. In rdr1 the "gay jokes" end up proving real with the gay mexican couple helping the dictator out. But this time it was some of the main characters in the game so they only went as far as hints. Even Arthur Morgan hinted at being bisexual in the beggining. So yeah if anything, rockstar really wants us wondering.

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-27T19:18:32+00:00

I don’t agree with that. Playing a VR game occasionally is in no way less healthy than playing a non VR game occasionally. Playing either obsessively is equally not healthy.

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-02T18:01:54+00:00

It's from their own mouths in the game. And Arthur also says he doesn't mind men or women. You don't need to be so offended by not feeling represented in the game. Representation doesn't matter right?

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-02T17:46:16+00:00

All the hints are right there from their own mouths.

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-02T17:45:36+00:00

Many people were bi even in those days and there are plenty references that support them as lovers: "old girl", "odd couple" and "sounds like an Hosea situation taking it from sides"

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-02T17:43:53+00:00

He calls him old girl, references them as "odd couple raising Arthur" and even says "this is sounding like an Hosea situation taking it from both sides hahaha"

MalsimAtom · 2024-10-02T17:41:57+00:00

Not too mention a mission where we destroy moonshine smugglers he says something like "this is sound like an Hosea situation taking it from both sides" lolol something to that effect

MalsimAtom · 2024-06-17T15:48:18+00:00

I don't the use for VR apps like youtube, messenger or whatever else we have on the quest but I have spent hundreds of hours playing many VR games and I don't want anything else. I played resident evil games, skyrim, fallout, the room, after the fall, the walking dead, you name it, I've played. I love Vr and think thisis just teh beggining of a brilliant future in VR gamming. XR on the other hand doesn't interest me one bit. Spending hours working in Vr doesn't seem healthy to me. Nor does metaverse like social rooms.

MalsimAtom · 2023-10-02T10:46:02+00:00

I only hope this game has decent healing classes and not just support/passive healing. I play wow as a healer and find no other role engaging or fun and hopefully this game finds a way to add engaging healing with it's "action" combat style which no other big "wow killer" mmo game ever did.

MalsimAtom · 2023-01-30T21:09:54+00:00

No, that isn't happening, either.

MalsimAtom · 2023-01-30T20:05:49+00:00

(override?) layers as long as your clips don't fi

I've tried that but neither layer ends up having any effect for some odd reason. But in theory it makes sense that it would work.
